I dont think yogurt is good for weight loss but if your going to eat it you
want to get the ones with the least amount of sugar. I get the light ones
from light and lively. Dont get Breyers. It is full of sugar and the ones
with half the fat have more sugar in them

I also use Dannon Light & Lively. Low in calories and the lowest I've
found in sugar. They're yummy too.

If you live near a Kroger they make a yogurt called "Kroger Carb
Master" that is delicious, low in sugar, and has 12gr of protein. I
highly recommend it.

Kroger Carb Master is the best thing I have tried and it only has 80
calories. Christine

The yogurt would be SPLENDA only. It is less calories and sugar if you are
wanting something for breakfast.

Got milk? New research suggests you should if you want to lose weight. The
study shows that calcium -- three or four daily servings of low-fat dairy
products -- can help adjust your body's fat-burning machinery.
The key is low-fat dairy sources, says lead author Hang Shi, a postdoctoral
student in the Nutrition Institute at the University of Tennessee at
Knoxville. "High-fat dietary calcium can establish obesity, but it's
surprising that low-fat calcium may help reduce body fat," Shi tells
WebMD. "The effect is very significant, much more than we imagined it
would be."
His paper on the effects of a high-calcium diet in increasing body fat loss
was presented at the Experimental Biology 2000 meeting in San Diego.
"The magnitude of the findings was shocking," says Michael Zemel,
PhD, director of the Nutrition Institute, who is Shi's co-author and
doctoral supervisor.
In their past studies, Zemel and colleagues have shown that calcium stored
in fat cells plays a crucial role in regulating how fat is stored and
broken down by the body. It's thought that the more calcium there is in a
fat cell, the more fat it will burn.
The researchers used mice bred to be obese in their current study. The mice
were fed a special high-fat, high-sugar diet for six weeks. All had a 27%
increase in body fat.
Some were then switched to a calorie-restricted diet. Of those, one group
was given calcium supplements (calcium carbonate similar to Tums) and
others were fed "medium" and "high" amounts of low-fat
dry milk.
Body fat storage was markedly reduced by all three high-calcium diets, say
the authors.
Those given calcium supplements had good results, when combined with the
restricted-calorie diet. Mice getting their calcium via supplements had a
42% decrease in body fat, whereas mice eating without supplements had an 8%
body fat loss.
However, calcium from dairy products produced the best results. Mice on the
"medium-dairy" diet had a 60% decrease in body fat, while those
on the "high-dairy" diet lost 69% body fat. Researchers also
found very small increases in thermogenesis -- the body's core temperature
-- which then enhances the effects of calcium gained through diet rather
than calcium in supplement form, says Zemel.
"Calcium is no magic bullet. What the study says is that ...
higher-calcium diets favor burning rather than storing fat. Calcium changes
the efficiency of weight loss," Zemel tells WebMD.
The human body's metabolism makes weight loss difficult, he explains.
"Many people who stick to a calorie-reduced diet don't lose weight as
fast as they think they should. That's because they activate metabolic
protection ... Their bodies sense starvation and hang on to energy -- fat
-- more voraciously."
Too many dieters tend to immediately "jettison dairy foods from their
diet, because they're just sure they're going to make them fat. In fact,
they're shooting themselves in the foot, because they subject themselves to
more empty-calorie sources. They would be better off if they would
substitute high-fat dairy products with low-fat dairy," says Zemel.

I get activa light....it's good for your digestive system and not much
sugar....

I use Breyers light, Yoplait light, and I also use the Wal Mart light
brand. Wal Mart was endorsed by Comsumer Reports as the best yogurt a few
years ago. I always use light. It is a good source of calcium and
protein. You have to try each one to see if it is sensitive for your
stomach. Eat small bites, maybe half a container, then the other half a
while later. Take care. Patricia P.

My doctor suggested yogurt as a snack because of the protein that is in it.
Yoplait lite has 1/2 the sugar then regular and it is really good. It does
not bother me at all. Some times you just have to experiment. What is good
for one may not work for you. Hang in there!!

Do you think it's upsetting your stomach because you may be lactose
intolerant? I would get bloating and an upset stomach with yougurt, cottage
cheese, etc. My WLS surgeon's nutritionist suggested I may be lactose
intolerant - tried using Lactaid when I have any milk prducts - no more
problems! Lactaid also has its own milk and cottage cheese.
